Obituary: HEALY, JOAN

Joan Healy"Grandma Joan"Our beloved mother, Joan Healy, passed away peacefully on January 29, 2012. She was born April 6, 1945 to Helen Johnson and David Kizerian. She married our Dad, Gordon Healy, on November 15, 1962, and together they raised us three kids. Mom missed Daddy very much. She was always the caretaker so when she became sick, it was hard for her to become the patient. She was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in October 2010. Mom went thru chemo for six months and did everything the doctors told her to do. Unfortunately, other things started to go wrong and she made the choice to quit fighting on the morning of the day she died. She said she didn't want to live life if she couldn't do the things she liked to do. Mom liked to work in the yard, go to Wendover and take care of her ainimals.Survivors: children, Lori Emms (Dayle), David (Debbie), Kean (Shannon); grandchildren whom she adored, Dylan, Hannah, Daniel, Kylie; also surviving is her beloved dog, Cassie and her five cats; siblings, twin sister, Jean Sundell, brother, Kent.
